Water and Floods. We are HYDRO POWERED radio and
WJFF is streaming live at wjffradio.org

Last week our movie night was cancelled - That wasn't all that was cancelled.

The creek in the village here, jumped it's banks and a third of main
street was submurged. The Delaware peeked at over 4 feet higher than it
did last fall for hurricane Ivan. Picnic Tables and Campers were taken
down river and placed randomly on banks. The Roscoe Library had two feet
high water mark on the outside of the building. The Brisco lake damn is
gone, waters rose over the bridge to the livingston manor school. Holdiay
mtn ski shop 200,000 damage to the ski shop alone. The rest of the areas
go carts, arcade, snow making machines,etc, totally over 2 million
in damages. Damage estimates reach 80 million in our region according to
the TImes Herald Record, with Sullivan county at over 19 million estimated
currently.

Local firemen have spent a week working with floods not fires. Congressman
Hinchey and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and Bonasac all have asked Pataki
to declare the region a national emergency. SULLIVAN County contains a
portion of 4 watersheds: East Branch Delaware, Middle Delaware-Mongaup-Brodhead,
Rondout, Upper Delaware.

Todays Folk Plus involves water and floods. I subbed for Maris last
Thursday night and ran a "dry run" of this show. So here again, floods
and water songs.
Thanks to dj recommendations, especially KDHX's Paul Stamler in St.
Louis, Missouri who sent MP3s, and locally to John Bachman, John Webber,
John Sincok and Jonathon Mernit for loaning or sending songs.
